Nice find or should I say re-find.! Can I assume the one in your shilling collection is in better nick.!

I have one with almost the exact same rotation. It does however have several reverse die cracks so mustve been a later strike than yours.

The only other rotated pre decimal coins I have are a few Canberra florins and 1 1951 jubilee florin.
I only noticed this one as I turned the page on my album and this stuck out like a sore thumb :good:

That's like how I find my errors :good: and I've been thinking about an easy way to look at both sides to find these errors more easily and I think I've worked out 2 ways  :yahoo:

I am not an error collector and was "Blissfully" unaware of this before you posted this :dash1:
Now I will spend a few hours tomorrow going through my Canberra florins looking for this :fie:
are there any other markers on this coin like die cracks ?
I only found my 3 rotated ones because someone mentioned it :angel:

since I have been coming into this forum
i have searched over my 1927's for those jolly die-cracks near the mace that you guys post pictures of
do I have one ??? no!!!

now I will be looking for rotations too  :(

markers?
no I dont' think so, I just accidently saw it as I moved it around to pop it into a 2X2
i notice in the pic that there is the barest die crack on Georgvis between the G to I but that is all

it's the only one that I have ever found and I used to be a big collector of the 1927's but don't have so many any more (which I regret)

cheers rob

I just went over my Canberra's with my USB gizmo and no sign of that on any of them :dash1:
